Conflicts errupt in Russia among radical pro-war groups - Ramzan Kadyrov's Chechen thugs are in an open conflict with Girkin's buddies, the Russian ultranationalists. Normally, that would be the news - as it is big and important. This week, however, we learned that a FGS defector - an officer of Russian Secret Service - has defected and escaped to the west. And he's given an interview.

Russian "war correspondent" has been blown up in St. Petersburg cafe, and who did it actually kind of doesn't matter. How it was done, and what such events mean for the country, now that's the important part. Oh, and Russian science has found a new low to fall down to.

This episode is about war crimes. Italian newspaper, La Repubblica posted the materials, given to the inernational criminal court, by Italian investigators. I read those materials - and then the UN reports, that have been published previously and...well, on one hand, you'll learn what's behind the more polite descriptions of events that mainstream press use. On the other, please, do take the trigger warnings in the beginning seriously. Because what I read...yeah, that was hard even for me.

Greetings, Comrades! This time, I bring you an interview with one of Latvia's most prominent journalist and one of the most prominent LGBTQ+ commune people in Latvia, where we talk about the stupid side of Latvian politics, war, his experiences being a Latvian and growing up in Chicago and what he things about republicans. I enjoyed this interview thoroughly, even if I wouldn't be so aggressive about some of the political stuff as he was. Enjoy!

News about the war in Ukraine. Today we go to the border town of Bryansk, and deal with the story…whatever it actually was. Concerning one of the very few actual nazis on the Ukrainian side, who’s actually a Russian and travels abroad with a Jewish passport apparently. It’s that kind of a story.
